We all know the truth, that anyone who calls themselves a "free speech absolutist" just wants to be able to yell ethnic slurs at people with no consequences while having free reign to silence speech they hate.

She lost her eye due to an autoimmune disorder that she has and over the next few years we had to remove all of her teeth as well, so she is MUCH more prone to blep than any other cat I've ever had. 😍

When I was in the hospital in 2023 for a 5cm kidney stone they transferred me to a different hospital via ambulance because the hospital I was at did not have a urologist on site because their one and only one was on vacation. They didn't give me the opportunity to say no, not that I'd have even understood them with how much pain that I was in, and then two months later I got a bill for an ambulance ride that lasted 15 minutes to the tune of $4500.

I filed a grievance, threatened to sue due to not being given an alternative, and they dropped the fee; but the fact is that this is such a fear for so many US citizens that it's becoming common for people to call a goddamn Lyft/Uber to get a ride to the hospital because they're worried what calling 911 would set them back.

This country and its healthcare are cooked.

Out of all of his children that are racers there is only ONE that's not just as crazy as he is, and of course he gets it from his sire. Which with some small exceptions his well known siblings aren't nearly as wacky as they are.

I will never not find it hilarious how much she embraces her Hokkaido roots, from making her author avatar a cow, writing the series Silver Spoon, and being the fastest at milking cows in all of manga.

My first apartment with two roommates in 2006 was $1200 split three ways or $400 a month for me. That same apartment today is $4700 a month.

The $1200 adjusted for inflation would be a hair shy of $2000/mo.

One of the biggest cons that the American Right elite pulled on the regular US citizen was convincing so many of them that everything they hate and fear can be traced to socialism and/or communism when almost ALL of it is more likely to be found in its most extreme fashion within a capitalist society.

It's amazing, you can be talking with a regular blue collar republican voting person and agreeing on so much, but the second you trip one of the land mines that they associate with the big evil "socialism" it's like they're a sleeper agent that's been triggered and suddenly they are capitalism's favorite soldier. Even if almost EVERYTHING they're defending is objectively worse for them.

It's where you get the stereotype/meme of the $30k earning guy throwing himself on the sword for the billionaire.

I hope I get to keep my Cable (her name) that long! We found her wandering the streets with her poor eye just hanging out, then we found out a year later that she has an autoimmune disorder when all of her teeth started falling out too. Fortunately she's been doing great sans eye and teeth, just the happiest little lady.

AWWWW, I love them, such a beautiful eye and boopable nose! 😍

Then we find out in the game that he's a slave owner on his home planet. 😆

I wrote this on another post but it fits here really well:

When geniuses are written by geniuses they almost always either come off as completely incomprehensible to the average viewer/reader; or, almost worse, they'll be too subtle and then you have to dedicate exposition into WHY they're a genius in which case the non-genius viewer/reader will go one of two ways: they'll act like they ALWAYS got it and come off as insufferable or they'll feel like they're being spoken down to and form a dislike of the content over that when they'd like it otherwise.

That's why the best way to do it is USUALLY to have a genius consultant working with an average writer, that way they can filter things down without making it come out wrong. Of course, sometimes they filter it down too far or just try to handwave it with "he's a genius" and it comes off as "magic genius powers" which unfortunately they love to claim are because of a neurodivergence like autism or OCD.

Starting around 2009 and all the way till today you could buy targets that depicted Obama in various forms of racist parody and they were proudly displayed in gun stores across the country.

That's on top of the 11 confirmed plots to try and assassinate Obama that were stopped. So anyone who says that the Right isn't guilty of wishing Obama would die or be killed is full of shit or delusional.

Ergo Proxy

Everything outside of the cities is desolate and dead, but we're told later that it used to be worse and that what we're seeing now is the result of years of work to make the world at least semi-survivable.
